Swain vs Rell

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (E) root threat to create ADC follow-up and deny Rell's engage angles from brush.
Control brush and river vision to prevent Rell's flanks and enable safer ADC positioning.
Play around level 6 all-ins where (R) sustain lets you outlast Rell's engage and chain CC.

Trading pattern

Threaten (E) from minion angles and only pull when ADC can commit damage immediately.
Hold (R) for peel or extended fights after Rell commits (W) engage or (E) stun.
Deny Rell's engage by controlling brush and forcing her to approach through poke range.

Danger windows

Respect (W) engage and (E) stun combo when she approaches from brush or flank.
Avoid grouped positioning vulnerable to Rell's level 6 (R) multi-target pull and lockdown.
Watch for Rell's roam timer after wave crash; keep ADC safe and maintain river vision.

Early game

Track level 2 closely and contest only if ADC can follow your (E)+(Q) pull trade.
Deny Rell brush control early to reduce her engage threat and protect your ADC's access.
Use wave state to ensure ADC safety before attempting extended fights or roams.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E)+(Q) pull trades; use this to pressure Rell before she can engage.
Level 3 adds (W) poke and vision; leverage brush control to land (E) and force cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) grants sustain and zone control; use it to survive Rell's all-in and punish her cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert (E) roots into ADC burst windows to deny Rell's ADC access and force recalls.
Use brush denial and river vision to limit Rell's engage angles and enable safe ADC positioning.
Coordinate level 6 (R) all-ins with ADC follow-up to secure dragon control and favorable teamfights.
